However our users have often said that Java is way too complex to understand. So to tackle that need we're dropping support for Java due to its complexity and instead we're switching to a combination of BPEL, WSDL and RDF XML Syntax instead (with maybe some XSLT too).

We're hopeful that a single XML document with 6 or 7 namespaces along with 2 or 3 spring ones should just about be able to route from one endpoint to another in a similar way to using a line of Java code - but using all the power of the various XML specifications; making it easy to add any WS-* specifications you fancy too!

One downside of this approach is that the XML header to define all the namespaces and their prefixes is about page or so of text but we're hoping a netbeans plugin will be completed soon that just hides the first page of your XML - making development much more agile!

We've also got a signed CLA on file so we can reuse Opera's new face gestures technologies to help typing in all those pointy brackets and XML namespaces; while giving yourself a great face workout at the same time. Agile integration and fitness in one!
